Far and away my wife's favorite song of mine and a lot of fun to play. Kinda a laid back song nothing to aggressive. Hope someone will enjoy it. I composed it in "GRUYPNO.STY and added live tracks for a couple of stems. Drums (which I usually replace) stayed in and may be the best drums I've heard in BiB. Maybe a tad too long at 3 1/2 min? https://soundcloud.com/user-800304115/this-diamond-ring?si=b613a74ba7d9412684379fb4910c7cb9&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingDiamond Ring I heard you’re getting married in the springtime You found someone whose love’s really true I always wanted to marry in the springtime But I always thought I’d be marrying you I was a fool to cheat on your love dear It wasn’t much more than a casual thing Now I just heard you’re getting married Guess I’ll just go and pawn this diamond ring Guess I’ll just go and pawn this old thing I hope you’ll be happy with your new love In the beauty of springtime you’ll say I do And I’ll be left standing in the shadows Holding this ring I was saving for you I was a fool to cheat on your love dear It wasn’t much more than a casual thing Now I just heard you’re getting married Guess I’ll just go and pawn this diamond ring Guess I’ll just go and pawn this old thing

Rick, 3.5 minutes is not to long for a song.
Loved the vocal and lyrics.
Super backing band.
Great chord progression.
Great ending and super mix.
Loved it.

It's a cool song but something tells me it needs a little more work on the mix as the sax seems to be in a different room and the intro piano struck me as a little fuzzy.
Cheers

Good song, Rick, and it was a nice change in production intensity between the v and C. Would like to see the lyrics listed with it either in the SoundCloud link or in your BIAB post. Keep up the good work!

Firesong, Mario D, Dewey thanks for the listen and kind words. I am planning a lyric video and I will also post lyrics on Soundcloud. RayC you always come in with the goods and are always spot on, thank you all.

Rick ...
A really, really nice song! Your vocal suits the "color" of the song. 3.5 minutes is not too long for a song - especially when it's this good.
I echo what Ray said about the lead break, but everything else is superbly mixed. I particularly enjoyed the varying sections - kept everything fresh and exciting. very nice, indeed.

Your wife has good taste! Great song and an excellent production. I see from the photo that you teamed up with Billy Gibbons. How in the world did you pull that off??

Cool song. Your voice is so unique.
Totally enjoyed it.
The guitar solo was a bit wet with reverb.. that one sounds like it was played by you. Loved those ending accents
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

LOL Emery Leech was (is) a unique individual. I always had a 3 piece outfit and during his time with me he held the bottom end like nobodys business. Back in that day 5 min.endings where in style, ala Grand Funk, and I could always count on him to be there till the last power chord crash. Lost touch with him over the years but never forgot him. Thanks for the kind words on the tune, it meant a lot.

I like it! Nice write, good singing, good arrangement. Certainly not too long. And I agree the sax could be better placed in the mix. The fade is a bit sudden. So yes - I enjoyed it.

Not too long at all.
Two verses and a chorus work for us ...
often all that's needed (we did that with our current production).
Nice track choice, lyric, vocal and mix.
We enjoyed it!

Hi Rick.
It's a really nice song. I second the comment re the verb. Sounds a little like the vocal is in a different room to the band too.
Fix that and it'll sound much better.
